How
did you get into 808:
A mix between hearing Aphex Twin ramble on about how legendary
Newbuild was, listening to Don Solaris & "Mondonet" from
the Trance Europe Express 3 compilation, and seeing the
"Pacific808:98" video on late night US MTV.

Greatest
moments:
· When Graham signed my Quadrastate LP right before playing
LA in '99 when I saw them live for the first time.
· Coming upon a copy of the Hit-Squad MCR 12".· Realizing
(sometime in '98 probably) how talented they really were
/ are, and in the "keeping it real" department, how they
put a shocking number of others in the biz to shame.

Worst moment:
· Having to miss seeing them play at Nocturnal Wonderland
13th Sept. '97 in LA because the Aphex Twin show was exactly
one week later at the same venue and I didn't have the time
or money to attend both. Plus I didn't quite know how cool
they were yet (shame on me), even though I had wanted to
go for them specifically. That would have been my first
show.
